27 Sept 2025, LAKAR. Manning my booth. Told Dr Zambry, Minister of Higher Education, my books are in the Malaysian high school reading list and entered into British Library. They're already at MPH Bookstore and Eslite Spectrum, and major bookshops worldwide.

27 Sept 2025, LAKAR. Glad to see poet Mohd Faiz again. Got to know the Perakians: poet Wang Tao, author Mamu MK Hasny. Got to see Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, Minister of Higher Education Malaysia, (also Pangkor native) reciting poetry.

Homecoming, 27 Sept 2025. Did a reading of The Keeper Of My Kin at Laman Karya Lumut during a Perak Library poetry event. The bit about the were-tiger eating the soldiers during WW2. That's me dressed as one of the Radens (who can command 'servants' and turn into a tiger).

Breakfast walk to get our roti canai. Three minutes. A lifetime of joy. This is what Malaysia Day means to me. Peace to the world. I wish this happiness on everyone on earth.

Had the pleasure of reading aloud Kitab Tamadun Cina at a mamak restaurant during Malaysia Week. Can't be any more Malaysian than that. It's hard & fun reading in Malay & doing the secular lectio divina in English. Thanks @robotforaday.bsky.social for the idea.

2024. Reunited with the Avalokitashvara of Bidor, Perak at Muzium Negara, the inspiration behind my fantasy series. I wrote the first ebook in 2022 in London. I looked at the Asian artefacts at the V&A Museum a lot for research. This statue is part of my heritage.

Throwback to IABF 2025. I talked about monsters, their place in our psyche & their function as a storytelling device. My 3rd book talk. Would love to take it to London, where the monstering began in my head.

Spent the weekend promoting a jazz festival. My feet. Thank goodness for brogues. Excellent bands, though. Jazz should be the national (modern) sound of Malaysia (thank you, P Ramlee!). A quick snap with the CD of my book campaigns.

Throwback to KL International Book Fair 2025. My first ever international book fair as an author on showcase, although I attended London Book Fair and MCM Comic Con London several times. What my readers told me inform my next book.

10 August 2022, I tweeted this: I have to read “Overture” again to dig the Dream Vortex 😫 Btw I got to The Sandman’s “Thermidor” on Audible where his son’s severed head sings a most beautiful song. So mournful. Will Netflix have this song in Season 2? Is it in Greek?

There was a traditional dress competition in conjunction with Teman Lelaki concert at LAKAR Lumut, Perak, last Saturday. We manned our book pop-up in kutubaru kebaya. It put me in character. Fancy cosplaying your own horror books! But I kept the Onitsuka trainers on for practical reasons.
